Stem Cell Therapy for Spine & Back
Regenerative stem cell therapy uses your body's own regenerative cells to support injured or degenerating spinal tissues. For suitable patients with certain degenerative spine and joint conditions, it offers a non-surgical option aimed at supporting healing rather than just masking pain.
Conditions We Treat
Degenerative Disc Disease
Age-related drying and thinning of the discs that can cause pain.
Learn MoreHow Regenerative Therapy Works
Regenerative cells are collected, concentrated, and then injected — often under imaging guidance — into the targeted spinal joint or disc, where they're intended to support the body's natural repair processes. Like PRP, it's a same-day, outpatient procedure that uses your own cells.
Regenerative therapies are an evolving area of spine care. They may help suitable patients, but the evidence is still developing and they aren't right for every condition. We'll give you a straight answer about whether it's a reasonable option for you — and never oversell it.
What to Expect
The procedure is outpatient with a quick return to activity, and any benefit tends to build gradually as healing is supported. We consider regenerative options as part of a least-invasive-first plan — and are candid when a more established treatment is the better choice.

Does stem cell therapy really work for the spine?
It's an evolving area of care that may help suitable patients, but the evidence is still developing. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether it's a reasonable option for your specific condition.
Is it safe?
Using your own regenerative cells, it's a same-day outpatient procedure with a quick return to activity. We'll review the specifics and any considerations with you.
How soon would I notice a benefit?
Any benefit tends to build gradually, because the therapy works by supporting your body's own healing rather than providing immediate relief.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can schedule directly with our Phoenix spine specialists, and we welcome out-of-network patients.
